Amongst the following the one which can exist in free state as a stable compound isA. `C_(7)H_(9)O`B. `C_(8)H_(12)O`C. `C_(6)H_(11)O`D. `C_(10)H_(17)O_(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
A stable compound has a whole number value of DBE. For example,
DBE of `C_(8)H_(12)O`
`= (8(4-2)+12(1-2)+1(2-2))/(2) +1=2+1 = 3`
All other formulae have fractional values of DBE, i.e., `C_(7)H_(9)O, C_(6)H_(11)O` and `C_(10)H_(17)O_(2)` are 3.5, 3.5 and 2.5 respectively.
